Radical with Amol Rajan starts on BBC Sounds from this month and will also be available on BBC iPlayer and YouTube…
Amol Rajan will present a new weekly BBC podcast, Radical with Amol Rajan, where he’ll be talking to the greatest pioneers of today about how to win the future. Together they’ll explore the big, bad, or bold ideas and global trends that define our era and the one to come.
In Radical, the Today programme presenter will search out the people and the thinking that might make the future brighter, fix some of our deeper problems, and make us all reconsider how we see the world.
Radical with Amol Rajan starts on BBC Sounds from this month and will also be available on iPlayer and YouTube. This latest audio offering forms part of the Today programme’s podcast offering – alongside Political Thinking with Nick Robinson, and the Best of Today podcast. These will sit under the same banner – ‘A Today podcast’ – to make it easier for audiences to find and subscribe to the Beeb’s flagship news programme across radio and BBC Sounds.
Amol Rajan:
“For 20 years I’ve worked inside a revolution in the media, through an era of dizzying change and giant forces that are re-shaping the future in a hurry. I want Radical to help our audience understand and win that future, by making sense of these deep global trends, in technology, demography, economics and culture.
“Our slightly too interesting times demand Radical thinking, and the prospect of deep conversations with big name guests is really very exciting. So too is the idea of building a community of subscribers along the way. We’re calling it a podcast, but really it’s a vodcast: many in that community will watch the video version on BBC iPlayer and YouTube.”
The final episode of the current The Today Podcast with Amol and Nick is out on BBC Sounds now. Radical with Amol Rajan will sit in the same feed.
